Glaciation of the Mt La Perouse area

Papers & Reports

Summary

Glacial ice has been dominant in sculpturing the landscape of the Mt La Perouse area. Glacial erosional features, moraines and periglacial and nivational deposits indicated that the geomorphology of the area can be accounted for by one period of glaciation accompanied by periglacialion and nivation.
